SOLVED VM Disk problems after Freenas upgrade

[bignellrp]

Hi,

I recently upgraded from FreeNAS-11.3-U1 to FreeNAS-11.3-U2.1 from within the system/update section

Like an idiot i didnt do a recent snapshot all my VMs or the main volumes.

When Freenas rebooted after the upgrade only 1 of the 4 VMs booted back up. All the jails seem ok and the smb shares etc but the VM disk seem to be corrupted.

They all hang on boot.

I managed to recover one of them with an old snapshot i had of the disk.

I checked the SMART on all the physical disks and monitoring on the disks and there are no reported errors.

I still have two VMs that cant boot and the strange thing is i cant seem to create any new VMs either. VNC quits after a minute or so when it looks for a disk to write to even when i choose different volumes for the new disk.

Is there a way to safely rollback everything to FreeNAS-11.3-U1?

I need to mark this as solved.

changed the VMs to use VirtIO and they are fine now.

used the info from this post:

Ubuntu Virtual Machine No Longer Works

So I have a bit of a weird issue. I updated my Plex VM (sudo apt update/upgrade) that runs Ubuntu Server 18.04.3 LTS. After the updates completed and the VM rebooted, I started having issues with logging in via the vnc connection as messages continue to pop up that interrupt the login process...
